DOMINION PARLIAMENT

NOTES OF THE SESSION,

TRADE WITH THE TROPICS.

A few days ago Parliament was occupied mainly with a discussion of a motion by Dr. Fortin, for correspondence m = posses- sion of the Government on the subject of reciprocal trade between Canada and Brazil and the West Indies. ln making his motion, the member for Gaspe entertained the House with au interesting and elaborate statement of the value of the trade of these countries and the importance of en- larying the commercial relations of the Dominion with them. The Finance Min ister stated that the Government is thor- oughly in spmpathy with the member for Gaspe in desiring an extension of trade with

srazil and the West Indies, and he pointed out that since 1879 very considerable pro- gress in that direction has been made, not only [through the tariff! changes, but by means of the steamship line to Brazi’, subsidized by Government. Canada has much to contend witk in obtaining a foothold in the markets of these countries, which have so long traded almost exclusi- vely with Great Britain thet old associations and acquired prejudices have to be over- come to bring Canadian products into favor. But the difficulties are being surmounted

with not unsatisfactory progress, Canadian |

flour, fish and lumber find a market now in Braz.l, and if the direct line is continued, of which there is at present some doubt, although the Government hope to make such arrangements as will insure its per- wanency, this market ought to steadily improve. The real diffionlty in getting re- ciprocity of trade is that the governments of these countries are loth to abandon any revenue-producing duties. The Govern- ment of Canada is willing to forego half a million dollars of revenue derived from the products of Brocil and the Weat Indies imported inte the Dominion if reci- procal trade can be obtained, and an effort was made to permit vessels to sail from the Dominion under the French flag to the French West Indies, so as to obtain the ed vantage for Canadian goods of a reauced import duty of 334 per cent., a similar concession being granted on the exports of the French Islands. Whatever can be done to extend the trade of the I*»minion with Brazih and the Weet Indies Sir Leonard Tilley assured the House would be done by the Government.

Irish Immigration to Canada.

-c oe -

The London Times of Thursday morning editorially approves of the proposed scheme whereby it is proposed that the Imperial Government shali advance for ten years to land companies, without interest, sufficient to meet the expenses of transferring in- digent Irish famities to the Canadian North- west and settling them on free home- steads. It is said on the best authority that the Government has practically decided to adopt the scheme.

In the House of Commons Sir John said immigrants would be assisted to any points they might wish to go to It was not the policy of the Government to force immi- gration. With regard to the proposed im- migration of 5.000 families from Ireland, the latest information he had on the subject was that the Secretary for Ireland had fully committed himeelf to an agreement with the Hudson Bay Co. and the C. P. R. Colonization Co. to setile them in the Northwest.

Many are expected during the coming season from Europe, who will bring in capital

The Digestibility of Oysters The general practice of eating the oyster raw is evidence thatthe popular judgment upon matters of diet is usually trustworthy. The fawn-colored mass, which is the deli- cious portion of the fish, is its liver, and is simply a mass of glycogen. Associated with the glycogen, bat withheld from actual ¢ wich it during life, is its appropriate digestive ferment— the hepatic diatase. The mere crush- ing of the oyster between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without any other help than the diatase. Toe raw, or merely warmed oyster is self-digestive. But the advantage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking; for the heat immediately des- troys the associated ferment, and a couked oyster has to be digested like any other food, by the eater’s own digested powers.

tact

‘My dear sir, do you want to ruin your digestion?’ asked Professor Hanghton, of Trinity College one

day toa frienl wh» hal orlered brandy and water with his oysters iu a restaurant in Dub- lin. Then he sent for a glassof brandy anda

in order to subdue him vicions, and all the ordinary efforts at control had failed Chloroform was administered to him, and while he lay helpless « fine needle was thrust in each eve. Kentucky hersemen differ in opinion about this severe treat-

ment. Some talx of prosecution on a charge of cruelty, while othera justify the act. Milt. E. Young, the owner of

the horse, said to a Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent: ‘‘Onondago was so savage that we could do nothing with him. He made it dangerous for every other beast in the stud and every man who went near him. We tried a!] the common ways of subjugation in vain. It came to a choice between killing him or testing the effect of putting out his eyes.” The horse was very Ul for weeks after the operation, but has recovered fuily, and is sufficiently docile to be easily controlled.

The Land Leaguers in Congress.

Pumaperrnia, Apr.l 25.—The Land League Convention was called to order at 12 «'clock by President James A, eee § Patrick Egan, Father Cronin and Walsh, and a number of distinguished Leaguers, with a group of lady delegates, took seats upon the stage. The Convention was organized by the selection of the following temporary officers; President, James A. Mooney ; Secretarys, Wm. F. Sheehan and J. D. OCounell. No Vice-President. Mooney, upon taking the chair, delivered an address.

After President Mooney completed his speech a committee on credentials was ap- pointed and a recess taken till 2.30 p. m. O'Donovan Rossa was present during the morning for a while, seated at the report- ers’ table, having been admitted as a representative of his paper, ‘'The United Irishman.” He was very quite, and took notes occasionally. The committes on reslutions met at 2.30, the hour to which the Convention took a recess.

Mra. Parnell entered the hall! about 2.30 and was greeted very warmly, all present rising to their feet and cheering. She tock a seat near the Secretary's table, and was formally introduced ss the mother of the great Irish leader She will be here duving the remainder of the week, but will make no public address or speech of any kind.

During recess, a despatch, purporting to jeome from the Pope, created some amnuse- ment among those on the stage. It was generally received as a hoax. It offered to excommunicate any Irish Catholic at- tacking England during the Convention on the greund of England’s liberality to all religions

The Convention wos called to order for the afiernoon at 3.15.

The Committee on Credentials reported that all credentials presented had been fav- orably passed on. An additional! Secretary was appointed, after which Mr. J. J. Hynes Secretery of the League, read his report, An ex; lanation having been asked why the lecture expenses of Davitt, Sullivan and Parnell were paid by the League, it was |then stated by Secretary Hynes that these lgentiemen had given all receipts of their llectures to the League funds, and the Central Council had thought it only proper that all their expenses should be paid. | Father Walsh, of Waterbury, Connecticut, was then called on for his report as General Treasurer of the League, and explained in substance, as before stated, why the lecture expenses of Parnell, Davitt and Sullivan were paid by him. Father Walsh's report was referred to the auditing committee. A motion was then carried that all reaolutions be referred without reading to the commit- tee on resolutions. The chair then ap pointed as an auditing committee Rev. Dr. Riley, of Michigan, Thomas H. Doherty of Massachusetts, and Dr. J. W. Cahy, of New York.

The [linois delegation made fratitie and repeated attempts to have read a report of certain moneys they had raised, but were emphatically declared out of order. | John Byrne, of Ohio, moved the appoint- ment of a delegate from each state to con- stitute a committee to prepare a flan to merge with the National Irish League which is to meet in convention to-morfow. Scuily, of New York, made a protest against the disbanding of the Land League. Thos. H. Doherty, of Massachnsetis, declared that Massachusetts did not bel eve the time had come for the dissolution of the Land League. Mr. Burke, of Boston, moved that this convention adjourn until noon Friday. After several amendments and substitutes had been voted down, the motion that the states and territories select each its committee man was carried. The names of the committee of conference were then announced.

Gen. P. A. Collins then moved that «ll matters concerning the reorganization of the League ard all resoluti ns be referred to the committee, which was carried. An adjournment was then taken until 9 o'clock.

Father Walsh’s repcrt shows the amount remitted for Land League purposes to be $39,102; for Irish Relief Fund, $23,682 Secretary Hynes’ report shows the tctal amount of money received by the Secretary from April 12, 1880, to April 25, 1883, to be $79,038.

Ata quarter past nine the Convention was again called to order, the, President an- nouncing that the basiness of this Conven- tion ranst be closed up this evining

On motien of Father McKenna, of Masea- chusetts, the report of General Collins, of Massachusetts, as chairman of the com- mittee appointed to wait on President Arthur at the last Convention to enquire into the conduct of Minister Lowell, was accepted.

Father McKenna then moved that President | Arthur be censured for his lack of good faith }and dishonest conduct, | The chair ruled this out of order. | Pending the resuit of the conference com- mittee, Thomas Brennan, of Ireland, secretary | of the Irish National Leagne, was introduccd jand addressed the Convention. Father Conaty ro Moseachusetts, as chairman of the confer- } ence committee, then presented the report of ithe committee, He raid the committee had | resaived to report no plan of merging or method | of disor@aviziug the it and League, but would i leave it to the Convention to agree on such a jplan. He reported the resolutions, | The accounts of Father Waish were to be correct. After motions of an ublwportant charecter were made, the Con- | vention adjourned
